Where to start... Arikoto historical fiction of Japan shoguns 16-17thcentry. This 10eps drama is hands down one of the most touching, beautiful, and well performed dramas watched in a long time. The story is total reversal of roles: men as concubines, female shoguns, and women as men to survive the tragedy beset the nation. The lead who played Arikoto was graceful, masculine, and humble in his portrayal of complex priest turned shoguns conscience. The stand-out was the costumes and body language worn by all players - loved watching Arikotos sublime hands. Music was appropriate and synced with each episode. Just be prepared, for ep10 - get some tissues ready. Would I watch again? Maybe, only due to too many that I must watch...
